The high-end packaging market will reach more than $4 billion by 2025 with a 31% CAGR between 2019 and 2025, says  Yole Développement.

The high-end packaging market will reach more than $4 billion by 2025 with a 31% CAGR between 2019 and 2025, says  Yole Développement.

The biggest market today is related to telecom and infrastructure applications.

The biggest growth will be in mobile & consumer and automotive & mobility with 60% and 88% market shares respectively.

Technology: fuelled by digital end-system demands and technological innovation, high-end packaging technology options are increasingly abundant and ground-breaking.

Companies of different business models including foundry, IDM and OSAT are competing.

Intel Foveros  and TSMC 3D SoIC are competing head-to-head for high-end packaging. But how will Samsung react?

The high-end packaging market is valued at $871 million in 2019. It’s projected to reach $4.3 billion by 2025.

High-end packaging units are hprojected to have a 38% CAGR, increasing from 204.5 million units in 2019 to 1409.2 million units in 2025.

 High-end packaging drivers are coming from the increased implementation and interest of end-system units in cloud computing, networking HPC and consumer devices, personal computing and gaming.

In addition, the growth in consumer digitization and increase in adoption of  IoT, mobile connection and smart objects are expected to present opportunities for the expansion of high-end performance packaging at the device level. They all need fast, big memory that interacts quickly with processing units.

For example, in advanced computing for gaming, TSVs are deployed in 3D stacked DRAM and HBM. By equipping GPUs with high-speed memory, high-performance gaming can be achieved.

Apple has released its upgraded iMac pro that integrates the AMD Radeon GPU Vega 10 pro.

Although the market for high-end packaging in automotive and mobility is small, the growth rate is one of the highest. The strong growth of high-end packaging in this market is mainly attributed to the growing adoption of artificial intelligence and robotics in vehicles.
